A brief list of the rangoli materials used in the modern day is as follows:
• Rangoli colours: These are readily available in the market.
• Marble dust: This gives a good result, but becomes very heavy to carry in bulk.
• Saw dust: Sawdust is easier to handle and spread. It even floats on water.
• Rice: This is used as it is or ground for fine texture. Grains of rice can be used by themselves or they can be coloured using food colours.
• Coloured Suzi/rawa: These grains are harder than saw dust and easy to spread, but they do not mix too well with colours.
• Petals: Rose petals, marigold petals, small purple flowers, finely cut grass, leaves

like methi leaves etc can be used to fill up large designs. Strings of marigold, strings of kanakambara(orange coloured slim delicate flowers available in South India), jasmine etc also are used to outline the rangolis.
• Pulses: Different shaped and coloured pulses are used to fill up large rangoli designs. They lend a texture to the patterns.
• Fabric or poster colour mixed with chalk powder: Small quantity of colour is mixed with chalk powder and applied with a brush on the floor. This looks like a painting on the floor ….not a traditional form of rangoli, but it has an advantage over the traditional format as it is very easy to create and lasts relatively longer.
• Coloured stones: These are used only for big and abstract rangolis as finesse is not possible with such materials. Also, they are neatly arranged in the patterns rather than spread by hand.
Materials used during special occasions in rangolis:
Rangoli also has a religious significance, enhancing the beauty of the surroundings and spreading joy and happiness all around. In Indian cultures, all guests and visitors occupy a very special place, and a rangoli is an expression of this warm hospitality. In particular, the Diwali festival is widely celebrated with rangoli, since at this time people visit each other's homes to exchange greetings and sweets. Festivals like the Onam and Diwali are Indian religious events where the Rangoli designs are used professionally.
Rangoli coloured powder is usually used directly for fancy decorations, but for detailed work, generally the material is a coarse grained powder base into which colours are mixed. The base is chosen to be coarse so that it can be gripped well and sprinkled with good control. The base can be sand, marble dust, saw dust, brick dust or other materials.
The colours generally are very fine pigment powders like gulal/aabir available for the Holi festival or colours (mentioned above) specially sold for rangoli in South India. Powder colours can be simply mixed into the base.
People across the country have learnt to experiment and mix and match materials as the creative minds that make these rangolis are looking for innovative and modern answers. These materials are also coloured as per the need.
Avaialble in 20 colours.
